Am I possibly looking at special needs?

He just entered the Babies Can't Wait program in Atlanta Ga, He has a speech delay. My son is very very energetic, extremely active and has very agressive temper tantrums that come and go. I have noticed in the last 2 months he has been making clicking noises with his mouth also he is constantly producing a lot of thick spit and blowning lots of bubbles from his mouth, he used to walk around on his tip toes alot but doesn't so much any more. Does anyone know what these clickings and bubbles are about are theses just phases or signs of something more?

Oh wow thank you yes he certainly does. I am suprised I didn't realize alot of these things are behavioral red flags. I just have gut feelings and a very strong sense that somethings going on with my son. I don't know but I think I am looking at special needs here. Okay well I will discuss these concerns with his coordinator at Babies Can't Wait. Thanks again lady_katie

No problem! Follow your "gut" because often times moms "gut" knows best, even if it doesn't know exactly what's going on lol. You'll find the answers that you're looking for. Feel free to ask us any questions that you have =)

They could be either. My son did the toe walking but also no eye contact lack of speech running in circles meltdowns. I can only say if you have any questions speak with your doctor about getting an evaluation for ASD.
